What could possibly be wrong with this picture? As more proposals pile up to do away with the antiquated methods of the legal scholar, in order to construct a more scientific arrangement of society on the basis of psychology and psychiatry, justice is buried under materialistic, neurobiological veneers. Social problems find themselves individualized by a thick veil of inaccessible jargon that threatens to become binding and objective. Attempts to replace the traditional legal field with psychology and psychiatry have been carried out before  with disastrous results. This book is a collection of philosophical essays on the intersection of these different fields, and the case for why traditional legal frameworks are not obsolete.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57695201657205,"sku":"9781917704762","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781917704762.jpg?v=1793031891","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/psychology-and-its-casualties","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
